This is the original article where Rosanna Davison claimed that gluten was responsible for autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia and arthritis, and here she backtracked, claiming that she merely suggested that 'gluten-free diets can play a role in helping to manage ... auto-immune and neurological disorders'; my emphasis. This is the website where she visually and verbally promotes her qualifications, from from the College of Naturopathic Medicine in Dublin and the US-based Institute of Functional Medicine. Neither offer any recognised qualifications.

Here Arthritis Ireland rebutted her claims, and here is a scientific study discounting gluten in the treatment of autism.
